Great how-to for a newbie, really appreciated the step by step. What impressed me most is your sincerity. This is the only UA-cam series I've seen that every comment has a reply--you REALLY care!!
Another great video. I just found this channel today. I want to paint my cars in the spring/summer next year. Doing bodywork now. But I want to do it myself and this channel so far has helped me tons. I appreciate you and your great channel. Thank you.
Thanks heeeeeeeeaps for sharing this mate. I have never truly known how to set up a gun properly, but now I do. Thanks for being so informative and explaining all the differences between the test patterns. You can tell just from how you talk about it all that you would be a bloody awesome painter. Cheers my brother, and Happy Christmas.🤙🤙🤙🤙🍺🍺🍺🍺
I enjoy watching painting videos yours included. I've been painting, from when gravity guns came out. I just wanted to let you know, in the beginning of video you were getting the fan and fluid nobs mixed up. The side nob is for fan control, fluid control nob adjust needle opening. Keep up the good work.
Excellent Information!!!! I really love how you work with the gun and actually show what you are taling about!!! Thank you...I've learned so much from your channel!!
You're going to hate one of the best paint guns made: The Iwata Supernova. It can't be used with the fan wide open. If you try to use it that way it will split the fan which on the supernova is about three feet wide. 1 3/4 turns out from fully closed fan is perfect. Also, instead of using the cheater valve at the bottom of the gun use a diaphragm regulator like the RTI MR-1. With one of these you can come into the gun at whatever pressure you want and it regulates it to a precise PSI value.
Interesting that when you turn in on the fan giving it less air the spots got less. I guess it sent more air to the nozzle to help breakup the paint into a finer mist. The fan adjustment is mainly to adjust the width or shape of the spray. I been painting for years and never realized that. Thanks for the video. I learned something new today.
I have the Ronpeng lvlp spray gun now never used it before but I use a smaller air compressor 26 gallon 5 hp between 5.4-5.6 cfm one day would like to use a bigger air compressor but this year plan on using a exhaust system in garage which haven't used yet plus will be using a high solids clear for the first time.
Awesome video. Te mando saludos de Los Ángeles. Honestamente te quiero dar gracias por tus videos que me están ayudando tanto. Y me encanto que usaste la HUSKY para enseñar que hasta nosotros los pobres podemos pintar también. Cuídate y hasta luego
the thing I like best about your videos is you explain in detail which makes it more clear to those of us that are not experts Very curious If you could only have one gun for base and clear what gun would you pick ???
You did a really great job explaining your adjustments technique, I feel like I can do this now. Would it be any different setting up for say a Nason 2K high build primer or different types of paint like a Single Stage like I will be using? Thanks great job.
cool video, this video is for the newbies and with experience you'll get better and better. so later you can make a smart choice in buying your paint guns you don't need to 500 dollar or more on a paint gun to a fantastic paint finish, but if you do want to spend that kind of money it's up to you, just take of it so it can last you a life time.
iam old school i learned to paint with the mbc deVilbiss spray guns back in the late 80s and early 90s, i don't think ill spend any money on this so called gravity guns and i get fantastic finishing with my guns, anyways great video as always.
So called gravity guns use less air and less paint, are easy to clean so less thinners to waste, also they aren't as cumbersome to handle giving better gun control. If it's just a hobby suction feeds are ok, but professional use no thanks.
Hi, when spraying into a small crevice or restoring a wheel where it has deep areas that I need covered with paint or primer, Do you lower the inlet pressure and change the fan shape to narrow or round? Just need some advice please “for tight or small crevices : 1) gun pressure at the inlet 2) size of spray pattern Thank you , love your videos..
So on the fan your looking for a nice tight sprey pattern with minimal external like overspray effect and even? I'm learning this myself, also need to talk about air supply as thats where I have already gone wrong, the 1/4 quick couplers were strangling my air supply so much that my gun wouldn't make 10psi wide open, with 1.4 nozzle and pipe lenght, internal diameter and the couplers are important so I found, I'm using 15cfm 100 litre compressor. Good video thou, even cheap guns can do a fantastic job if you know how to set it up.
Love your videos, just found them and I've watched hours already. Couple questions that I can't seem to find answers. 1. What in the gun adjustments causes paint to orange peel? (I'm using correct reducer activator) 2. What do you do.when the paint is really thick? Sometimes I spray rustoleum enamel tractor paint from a gallon can, even when I reduce more than recommended, the paint is so thick I can't get good atomization.
@@PHARRAWAY of, I will check other videos. Part 2 of my oruginal question, thick paint problems...any suggestions? (Other than to quit buying cheap paint lol)
Unfortunately you didn't mention your "rule of thumb" for the distance you hold the spray gun from the surface, which I assume can have as much of an effect on the pattern as everything else you mentioned - No?
When you say "wide open" do you back the knob (whichever one you're adjusting) until it is unthreaded from the body and then screw it back in a little? Could you go into a little more detail? This video is very helpful. Thank you!
I tried your setup procedure for a cheapo gun for spraying 2k primer, atomization was good but couldn’t get a bigger fan than about 4” , is this the characteristics of the gun ? For my SS paint I will be using a Devilbliss flg5 , never painted before and hoping I get results more to what you show.
Thank you for your hard work on the videos, my question is I want to paint my silverado and my s10 under my enclosed awning, can you recommend a gun and compressor size I can buy and can I use one gun for primer paint and clear cleaning it in-between or should I buy more than one gun thank you
So you started at 28 or so psi, what made you choose that psi? Also you mentioned the dv1 what psi would you start at with it? Do you use the gund max recomendation? Just wondering where to start at. Thanks! Awesome teachings!
Thank you for the video Great info my question is how do you compare the iwata ws 400 from all your guns and also I have a chance to buy iwata ws400 evo
Thank u for the video it is good info but unfortunately I finish painting my car for the first time I wish I would have watch this video before because I paint my car for the first time with harbor freight gun. Will upload video soon if possible do check it out and let me know how I did it or what's needs to be done on the paint to have better finish.
Hi ,, I I can ask ,, I’m about to primer and single stage a frame mostly the front on my 58 Chevy .. metal has bean prepped . Question ,, the frame has so many crevices and under bracket welded on it. I’m sure they dipped the frame in 1958.. What pressure if so should I set when painting around these odd areas like crevices and indentation? Second , fan width ? Anything can help cause I lm trying not to get any runs when I’m hitting these difficult areas .. thank you 🙏
Hi ,, quick question if I may ,, Just sprayed a panel with single stage , had a small sag about 20 inch long right under a crease.. Is it possible to fix it or just re-spray the whole panel ? Is re-spray , would you D/A or wet sand? What grits ? I’m thinking 400-600 disc or 400-600 wet sand. Do I sand the whole panel? Thanks Pharraway!
Been watching your videos to help me out with painting my car. I've been buying my tools little by little. Right now I need to buy a Primer spray-gun with a 1.8mm tip size. Out of these 3 which one would you pick: Devilbiss FLG. Husky, Iwata Air Gunsa or is there something within those 3 that you can recommend. Thank you for your input and for all you informative videos.
This may sound like a stupid question; but do these "settings work for "SINGLE-STAGE PAINT?? I will try out your suggested settings of fluid and pattern wide-open and "dial down the pattern from wide open; leaving the fluid wide open, thank,s again PJP
@@PHARRAWAY thanks for the reply, you would use 29psi and 33 for a non HVLP conventional gun? I heard you say the 28-29 on the video about the HVLP, but you would use the same pressure for a conventional gun?
Another great lesson from Professor Pharraway... keep teaching the people my brother

Thanks man! I'm spraying a guitar with an LVLP spraygun R-500. I was having that issue with the speckles, but I will try that method. Thanks again.

the Iwata could cost a million dollars but if you don't know how to use it it isn't worth chit to the painter.
damn every time i watch your videos i feel like i can paint a car even though i have never painted before...lol
Thanks
Excellent my friend, no one in UA-cam explain the way you do, subscribed.
I watched a lot of videos , getting myself prepared for my job at home ,this was best explained what to look for
Thanks brother
You are a very good teacher & I thank you very much. You are one of the best on UA-cam & I watch everyone of your videos & subscribed sometime back.
Thank you
Today Pharraway finely tunes your painting pistols 🖼 💥💥💥💥🔫
Thanks brother
Dude, your videos are always teaching us. You never nention how much air is needed to run the spray gun.
Thanks brother, yes I said 29psi on paint and 35psi on clear
Hell yeah!! I’m here for this!
Thanks brother
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
That was good. I sprayed some acrylic urethane recently and really didn’t know what I was doin. I’ll have a better idea next time. Thanks buddy

What do you think of the harbor freight purple gun for a primer gun after a mod that turns the tip from a 1.4 to a 2.o
@@leonardwalters154 for primer it's good but for paint and clear no good

The walcom carbonio 360 HTE
Excellent demonstration. Do you recommend higher pressure for a flat finish?
Very good explaining
It doesnt make any sense bc u say one is the trigger and one js the fluid but the one your adjusting changes the fluid and the fan im confused

Had to speed this up all the way to watch.
5:01 Fan pattern knob on the side, not fluid.
How do you recommend fixing cracking in clear coat, should I flash then add another layer?
No its best to resand the clear
How far do you typically hold the gun from the surface you are spraying? Thanks! BTW, your videos are great!
about 5 inches from the panel

For metallic is the same adjustment and use 1.3 tip

Does different air pressures and distance change colors on base coat ???
No not really

You can eat sand with 600 and just spray that area and you will be good
Can you use the same spray gun for primer, base and clear and why should you use different guns

it's the same the only thing you change is the pressure to 33psi
do you do the same settings for wheels as well or would you use the settings you used for bumper covers ?
it's the same setting

Do you always use the same spray pressure regardless of paint manufacturer? Ex. Eastwood recommends 10 to 15 psi for HVLP guns.
